You can’t plan everything to a tee. The best organisations are dynamic and flexible and Kane came in a did a decent job when required. So, if we have to offload him after 12 months, that’s absolutely fine. One thing that baffles me is that a lot of people seem to have lot to say about the ‘bad’...

Kane was always a middling Championship player and someone to give us another option. Bidwell, however, has an impressive track record in the Championship. Personally, I think he’ll come good next season.

5 goals were penalties. His goals per minute was slightly better than Biamou’s. I got that. I’m addressing the points people are making about using your ‘best players’. JCH wasn’t then, and wouldn’t start in our current team now. I liked JCH as a player. But MR clearly seen had a reason to...

Fundamentally wrong? That’s quite the indictment. I’m under the impression that JCH wasn’t a good fit in our squad personality wise and he certainly didn’t really fit in with our system. It’s absolutely a justification to let a talented player go. Something Robins has rightly prioritised is the...

I’d understand the points a bit more had JCH surpassed us and that he was a missed opportunity. What actually happened was that the season after he left, we won the league. After that, we were the only promoted team to avoid relegation and this season we finished 12th and flirted with the...

JCH wasn’t anywhere near our best player at the time. Would JCH add value to our current team? He’s not better than Gyo or Godden despite his achievements after he left us.

I honestly think MR had hopes for JJ and still rates him. He wouldn’t make the comment he did after Huddersfield away otherwise. Ultimately, for most of the season were in and around the playoffs. Therefore, not a good position to play him back to fitness nor loan him out because of our depth...

So what? It’s on players to fit our system than vice versa. MR got the call right despite JCH’s subsequent success in League 1. JCH scored 7 goals from open play in 42 appearances last season. Meanwhile, Godden got 9 in 24 appearances… For context, in 20/21 Biamou scored 5 goals from open play...

Generally, I agree. I’d like to see a winger in one of the AM slots in the ‘box’. Something like a championship quality Jodi Jones/Bright type player. A bit more skill and pace going forwards to link up with Gyo and COH. I think Robins would work towards this (potentially) given that we signed...

It is frustrating because my brother only decided yesterday that he wanted his season ticket as a birthday present! Thankfully, I qualify as a concession so I’ll take the minor consolation

I need to renew my season tickets too - I forgot last night was the deadline!

Hyam.

Helik did get into team of the year as a defender for the team who came 24th. So he’s clearly not a slacker.

I’d love for us to sign Michal Helik from Barnsley. But I imagine he’d have plenty of suitors!

Realistically, we need wholesale changes to freshen the Group up. Outside the starting eleven, we don’t really have any good options. I know a lot of people wanted us to ‘go for it’ in the Jan transfer window, but our squad always looked quite threadbare and a couple of signings wasn’t going to...

How were Birmingham predicted to be around 10-11th?! Interesting that Derby’s predicted finish was 15th. Which, even without their points deduction, they didn’t achieve.

It’s an interesting thought experiment! I’m under the impression that we wouldn’t have signed one of Walsh or COH that preseason and both were influential in our promotion. I’d certainly have COH > Bayliss back then. But like Walsh, Bayliss has been injured/out of form for so long… they’re not...

I’d like to think he could rejuvenate his career with us and under MR’s tutelage. But, equally, it’s not gone right for him for a reason. If we got him on criminally good terms, I think he’d be a good squad addition. I sincerely believe had he stayed, he’d have thrived in the ‘box’ formation...

Does that sound like the kind of player that’ll improve us right now?

Is there anyone on this forum out in Genoa? I was there for both derby games this season. Despite my fondness for Ostigard, I was rooting for Sampdoria who have somewhat become my adopted Italian team.
